Every Man for Himself

Every Man for Himself

Hoobastank can craft a hook — which they proved with their 2004 hit ”The Reason” and prove again here. From the up-tempo riffing of ”Without a Fight” to the Journey-esque ballad ”Moving Forward,” it’s hard to find a track that won’t get fists pumping or cigarette lighters waving. The problem is an unlovely brutishness evident throughout: Every Man for Himself that opens with a drill sergeant barking Full Metal Jacket-style orders, features the repeated shrieks of ”Fight!” on the track ”Without a Fight,” and boasts a ”love song” called ”Inside of You.”
